Our Beliefs
Vision
This soul-centered ministry is united in purpose, empowered by God to break the enemy’s strongholds. We impact lives across cities, states, and nations, leading many to the full knowledge of Jesus Christ and salvation. With Christ as our eternal foundation, we lift His name to draw others to Him. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we seek divine direction to build God’s Kingdom, edify the Body of Christ, and fulfill our Father’s perfect will.
Mission
To pray and minister the gospel of Jesus Christ with unwavering dedication, applying the grace of the cross and the truth of Scripture daily. To walk in godly wisdom, not the wisdom of the world, and to glorify Christ alone. To bring hope, restoration, and reconciliation through His teachings, leading to a balanced life. To nurture a personal relationship with God for edification, comfort, and strength in due season. To embrace and walk in the Newness of Life.
Our History
New Life Christian Ministries (NLCM) was founded in July 2002 in Buena Vista, GA, through the vision of Pastor Jacob L. Franklin Sr. It began as a Wednesday night Bible study in the home of Sister Louvenia Franklin on Hwy 26 East. Under Minister Jacob L. Franklin Sr.'s leadership, attendance quickly grew, filling the home as people witnessed God’s powerful presence. By October 2002, the Bible study relocated to 102 North McDuffie Street and expanded again less than four years later to 104 North McDuffie Street, adding a children’s nursery, church, and office space.
Guided by God’s vision, New Life has since acquired 8.6 acres of land on 359 Pineville Road and 150 Baker Street South. This land now houses New Life Kingdom Embassy, a multipurpose facility serving both the local community and global ministries.
As Habakkuk 2:2-3 reminds us: Write the vision, and make it plain… For the vision is yet for an appointed time… though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come.
